+SoulBuster Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Over the years I have acquired a bit of software, 8bit and ST, and apparently some of it is not available on the internet. I decided a couple of months ago to archive this software so the Atari community can have access to it and I purchased a SuperPro Card to archive it in the original format including protection schemes. I ran into a couple of problems that kind of put me off of archiving it. 1. I applied to become a part of the Atari 8-bit Software Preservation Initiative, but was declined to become a member, no reason given. 2. I sent an email to AtariMania to recover an old account I have with them so I can post software images and I have yet to hear back from them. Now, a couple of months later, I again have the bug to archive all this software due to an inquiry to one of the software titles that I have. I do have a medical condition that limits the amount of time I can put forth in this effort, but I will try to post software now and then. I do still have to learn the SuperCard Pro and some of my initial postings will not be in that format, but I am building a device to automate the process as much as possible. At the moment, I have some ST titles to post. My 8-bit library can be found here. To: Atari 8-bit Software Preservation Initiative and AtariMania you are welcome to use anything I post, but you will have to come here to get it.

+SoulBuster Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 I tested the install after I copied the files from the disks and re-created with blank disks. I then transferred the files to the PC using the UIP Tool. I then transferred back. re-created the disks and test the install again. It all worked great.MWC v3.09.zipMark Williams C .ST Images.zip 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodak80 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 For SCP and Kryoflux dumps, there is already an active preservation/sharing option available here: https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=28228 The Repository Mega share link for shared dumps is here: https://mega.nz/#F!9RJixYhI!ozJAY06nUpYj2vzpuWORRg I can upload dumps to the repository if you would like them added. I have a dropbox link which allows you to add dumps and I then move them over to the Mega repository. My dropbox upload link is: https://www.dropbox.com/request/DTUu6HMB7ojWWK4xjhjS We welcome any contributions to the repository. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Nice too see people take effort and time about preservation - and indeed, we are in last years, maybe decade-two when floppy disks old over 30 years still are in relative good shape and can be read error less. Looked that repository at Mega - lot of new titles since I looked it last time. And that reminds me on my missing flawless images of games list - there is thread at atari-forum about it, for some 10 years. And just from top of head: Son Shu Shi, Jinks - still no good images of them. Worst is that whole idea of doing some database about available images, with added comments about how good, how well tested it is, plus possible limitations - like TOS v. compatibility, etc - just ignored . I know that it is easier to just DL and DL, but how about quality ahead quantity ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak80 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 With the uploads transferred through my dropbox link, I check that the dumps are not bad and of a reasonable flux level. I am no expert but the dumps I transfer are of acceptable levels. In terms of which dumps works with what version of TOS, a preservation dump doesn't care as it is a raw capture and matches whatever the original disk worked with. It would be better if other supported preservation, as you say, someone must have originals for games like Son Shu Shi and Jinks. With Greaseweazle, Supercard Pro and Kryoflux, the process of dumping disks is now easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 I messed around with the SuperCard pro today and found that I do not have a compatible floppy drive. Ordered one. So I am going to continue to post while that is in transit with plans to back track and do all previous titles in the .SCP format when the drive arrives. In fact, I will attempt to supply an unprotected version alongside of the .SCP format for titles that can be unprotected. I will also try to supply an .ST or .STX format where I can.
